  1. A \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{13}\right)\)
  2. B \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{13}\right)\)
  3. C \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{13}\right)\)
  4. D \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{13}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{13}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{A}=4 i+3 j+12 k\)
\(p=i\)
\(\cos \theta \frac{\mid \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}}{|A||B|} \Rightarrow \frac{4}{\sqrt{16+9+144} \times 1}\)
\(\theta \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \cos ^{\prime} 1 / 13 & \end{aligned}\)
